    Perfect all round. Hope to return one day and stay a bit longer.

    The Barn is decorated and fitted out to a high standard. The owners are on hand for anything that you may need. I think the only thing I would suggest is an information sheet, wifi code etc. It was a bit strange not having a wardrobe in the bedroom to hang clothes in, but I'm gussing that it's due to the slope of the roof.

    It’s a delightful spot with easy access to Plymouth and the beaches at Bigbury and Bantham. There are so many beautiful places nearby, including Newton Ferrers and Noss Mayo, it’s impossible to name them all. My stay there was made even better with the other inhabitants … Badger the dog, and Nigel the cockerell and his harem of beauties that roamed the site. A little bit of heaven in Devon I’d say.
